Good news for iPhone users. iOS6 is finally supporting iDrive Office integration via Bluetooth MAP(Message Access Profile). Bluetooth MAP is the protocol used to retrieve email messages through iDrive, which currently only works with Blackberry and a few other devices.

Couple shots of my wireless non USB connection using my iPhone 4S with iOS6 Beta 1. iOS6 Beta 1 is still a little buggy but this is a great start. I suspect the (Sender Unknown) header will be fixed with the next beta release.

Does that Play button read aloud each message? That looks just as complicated as picking up my phone and reading the messages while driving.

Difference being, at least in Europe, is that one is legal and the other isn't. And yes, the play function is for iDrive to read it out to you. Plus you a big bonus with this system is that you get visual notification of a message on iDrive when normally you wouldn't if your iPhone is plugged in.

No, you will only see the "Office" menu item if your paired to a bluetooth phone that supports email & text messages.

Office is present on my iDrive regardless to the presence of a compatible phone. Probably another difference between US and UK iDrive. I use office regularly to access all the messages I've sent to my car via google maps, iPhone remote app and the connecteddrive website.

Your right about "Office". I meant to say "Current Office" which would be the first new sub option after clicking "Office".
